Travel is Fatal To Prejudice
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
–Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad (1869)

Wonderful quote from a great travel book. I was in the middle of reading “The Innocents Abroad” when the Kindle went on the blink. It’s in the shop, so I’ll have to wait to finish.

The new Kindle works internationally so maybe its time to upgrade?
